Toggl Integration with ClickUp

The Toggl Chrome extension lets you track time directly from ClickUp tasks in your browser. This guide explains how to set up the integration, start and stop timers, and understand the limitations so your workflow stays accurate and organized.

What You Need Before Connecting Toggl to ClickUp

Before you can track time from ClickUp using Toggl, make sure you meet these basic requirements:

• A Toggl account with access to the Toggl Track Chrome extension.
• Google Chrome installed on your computer.
• Access to the ClickUp web app in your Chrome browser.

Once these requirements are in place, you can connect the Toggl extension to your workspace and begin tracking time from your tasks.

How to Install the Toggl Chrome Extension for ClickUp

To use Toggl inside ClickUp, you must first add the extension to the Chrome browser.

1. Open Google Chrome on your computer.
2. Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for Toggl Track.
3. Click Add to Chrome to install the Toggl Track Chrome extension.
4. Confirm any browser prompts to complete the installation.

After the extension is installed, its icon appears in the Chrome toolbar. You are now ready to connect it so it can recognize ClickUp tasks.

How to Enable Toggl for ClickUp in Chrome

The next step is to configure the extension so it displays a Toggl timer inside relevant pages, including your ClickUp workspace.

1. Click the Toggl extension icon in the Chrome toolbar.
2. Log in to your Toggl account, if you are not already logged in.
3. Open the extension settings or options page.
4. Make sure that third-party tools and productivity apps are enabled.
5. Confirm that the integration option for task or project management tools is turned on so it can read ClickUp pages.

Once enabled, the extension looks for supported tools in your browser. When you open a task in ClickUp, you will see a Toggl timer button provided by the extension.

How to Track Time in ClickUp with Toggl

With the extension running, you can begin tracking time from tasks inside ClickUp. Time entries are created and stored in your Toggl account.

Start a Timer on a ClickUp Task

1. Open your workspace in ClickUp using Chrome.
2. Navigate to the task where you want to track time.
3. Look for the Toggl timer button displayed by the extension on the task view.
4. Click the Toggl button to start a timer linked to that task name.
5. Optionally, edit the description or project within the Toggl popup to match your tracking needs.

While the timer is running, your time is recorded in Toggl. You can continue to move between tasks or views in ClickUp while the extension keeps counting in the background.

Stop or Pause Toggl Time from ClickUp

1. Open the same task in ClickUp where the timer was started, or click the Toggl icon in Chrome.
2. Click the active Toggl timer to stop or pause it.
3. Review the time entry in the Toggl interface and adjust details such as tags, project, or billable status as needed.

All time data remains in Toggl. The integration offered by the extension only starts and stops timers linked to what you are working on in ClickUp.

How ClickUp Tasks Appear in Toggl

When you use the extension, the task name from ClickUp is used as the time entry description in Toggl by default.

• The task name is visible in your Toggl timeline or time entries list.
• You can modify the description at any time inside Toggl.
• The association between the entry and your work in ClickUp is created through the name and any projects or tags you configure.

This simple mapping makes it easier to see which items from your ClickUp workspace you spent time on when reviewing reports in Toggl.

ClickUp and Toggl Integration Limitations

The Toggl Chrome extension does not replace native time tracking features or deep integrations inside ClickUp. It adds a timer button into the browser that interacts only with your Toggl account.

• Time tracked with the extension is stored solely in Toggl, not in ClickUp native time tracking.
• The timer only appears when you are using Chrome with the extension enabled.
• Advanced automation or bi-directional syncing between Toggl and ClickUp is not part of this browser-based integration.

If you require more complex reporting, additional data mapping, or combined analytics, you may want to explore third-party automation services or dedicated consulting resources.

Best Practices for Using Toggl with ClickUp

To get the most reliable time data while working in ClickUp using the Toggl extension, consider the following recommendations:

• Use consistent task names in ClickUp so your Toggl reports are easy to read.
• Assign Toggl projects and tags that match your ClickUp Spaces, Folders, or Lists for clearer organization.
• Start and stop timers directly from tasks in ClickUp to minimize forgotten entries.
• Regularly review your Toggl entries to fix descriptions or projects before you generate reports.

These practices help ensure that every Toggl time entry accurately reflects the work done in your ClickUp environment.

Summary: Using Toggl Chrome Extension with ClickUp
